Ever feel alone in our pursuit of living for the Lord?  Like we are isolated, secluded, and standing alone  in this campaign for Christ and in following His steps? If we feel alone today in serving the Lord...keep standing. Don't give up even when conditions are harsh and dry.   Stand for the Lord.   Stand for His glory and for His Name to be known. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  ( 11)  Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  ( 12)  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  ( 13)  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground , and after you have done everything, to stand .  ( 14)  Stand firm then , with the bel...

Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly...   ~Colossians 3:16 My husband has a greenhouse that is attached to the side of our house.  Inside  the greenhouse doors are plants a plenty.  It's warm and humid inside and you can find everything from cucumbers to limes to (even) a pomegranate growing inside  the greenhouse.  The climate, the daily watering, and the light are conducive and encouraging for growth and potential.  But I noticed today that there was a tendril, a vine, a determined strand of some plant that had grown through the doorhinge  and into our garage.  This plant had left the ideal atmosphere of the greenhouse and appeared to be thriving out in the wild and not-perfect-conditions of our garage.   It's dark in our garage much of the day, because the door is shut when we are at work and school, and so there is technically and presumably not enough light for this plant to grow and thrive...and yet, it does.
